    Our waitstaff Gabriella was fantastic! Attentive but not hovering and she listened to our special requests and ensured they were met. The food was hot and delicious and the portions were huge. We usually order take out pizza from Casa Calamari but will definitely be back for dinner soon. The only thing that could be improved on is the music volume- it was so loud that we had to shout over it to be heard.

    This was a birthday dinner for my sister. My husband and I have eaten there several times and loved it. My sister was thrilled with the service & food, as were others at the table. Four at the table and each had different meals, and all were very satisfied with their choices.

    Met for a guys night out dinner. Everyone enjoyed their entree. I particularly call out their chicken and pasta - two fresh breasts cooked perfectly. I planned to take some home , but it was too delicious. Plan on going back again soon. Look for their nightly drink specials!

    Very friendly service as soon as you enter! Our waiter Chris was very nice and helpful with our menu and drink orders. The fried Calamari was fresh and delicious! I asked Chris when ordering the Calamari if it was fresh and he assured me it is! Nothing worse than getting Fried calamari that was frozen. The eggplant rolatini was delicious with a perfect amount of pasta! The Scallops Fra Diablo was amazing! Penne aka Vodka was great! Deserts were perfect, cannolis, lemoncello cake and Tira miso! Nice espresso to finish off a wonderful dinner!!!

    We went to celebrate a birthday. The service was outstanding and the food was fabulous. This has become my new favorite restaurant. The server went above and beyond to make sure our evening was unforgettable.
